Pretty loose call, IMO (it's way too easy to be dominated with KJ), but then again, I finished 5th - so what do I know?

Yeah, I don't know..... at BEST, you have to think you're a coinflip here, but at worst, you are dead meat. after playing solid heads up poker for however long it was (I'm guessing a half an hour), is it really worth risking everything on KJ?

Either way... GG. Thanks to everyone who played.
